Sometimes I feel really guilty about splurging on Creme de la Mer, because poverty and starving children and the planet is in peril. After reading that list, I feel way better about myself.

I feel sad now, because that sounds delicious to me.

I was thinking the same thing. I wish I could unsee his instagram page!

I'm not sure why this surprises anyone. I've been boycotting Real World and The Challenge (really, The Challenge because I gave up on RW a long time ago, but the Challenge rocked) ever since I heard about Tonya's sexual assault lawsuit. I fully believe it really happened. In fact, in their contracts, the cast members…

Seriously, what are you even talking about?

I've had my owl for two years and no mildew.

I've had my owl for two years and no mildew.

It is so puddle-free that I even put it on my dresser. I haven't had a mildew problem yet (I've had it for two years), but I've seen a few others in these comments complain about it (although not specifically on the owl).

I have the owl and it is the best thing I've ever purchased. Super adorable and it is the perfect size for my small bedroom.

It is so weird that Vanderbilt ends up being the hero of this story. I'm so not used to a university doing the right thing. Finally. Thank fuck.

I read this entire post in William Shatner's voice.

I mean, I don't expect people to work for free, and I believe in a salary commensurate with skill - but to a degree. If you work in the nonprofit field, one would think you care about the mission and wouldn't even *want* to take that money away from the cause. On a personal note, I took a paycut to the tune of exactly…

Similar to UNICEF? I personally support Direct Relief International. I wish their CEO pay was a bit lower (in like the $350k range), but their work and policies are really solid, I've never heard a hint of an issue and I follow this sort of thing pretty closely. They are one of the only decent disaster relief…

Your brain is speculating even more rapidly. You may have less faith in humanity than I do, which I kind of approve of. Regardless, if they knew anything about the rape, I hope there are some kind of charges that can be brought.

I don't have much faith in humanity these days, but I'm glad someone still does.

I think some of the support they give to mothers in developing countries is great. But I don't agree with their policies in essentially bribing developing countries with huge grants of cash to stop allowing international adoption. And there are reliable studies that indicate that preventing foreign adoption (which…

That person who sent the text is a special kind of evil. The rape is horrendous, of course, not negating that. But jesus christ, can't people look out for one another? Instead you laugh? (My rapidly speculating brain makes me wonder if she turned down the texter at one point.)

1. I don't understand even a little bit how a sorority being expensive correlates to not letting other people wear their shirts.

Nail. Head.

I saw Sia perform back when she was singing with Zero 7 and she was a goddamn delight. I had such a crush on her. She was giggling and dancing and hot as hell. And her voice was stunning. She didn't seem to be having issues with stage fright - but she definitely could have been drunk. But a delight, I tell you.

When I was 14, I hung out in an AOL chatroom called "ILOVEOLDERMEN" - wtf was I thinking?
